[pimpston65]

I have no idea....I think I am using pine and oak and whatever. lol. Just spare wood I had layin around. No, you would have to fabricate a fender to have a rights side spare.

Just a suggestion. What about mounting something like this on the step instead. It would look a lot better and probably hold up better too. The can in the first 2 pics might be useable mounted (might hit lid on bed rail though) and the third could be used as a removable tool box. I think these would go along with the theme of your truck better than a wood box. Just my 2 cents worth.

Playing in the garage. Porterbuilt Track bar mount tacked in, bar cut and welded to length. Some pie left overs from trimming fenders. The circle is schrader valve for bags. The black outline is stock shock mount for those looking to move to outside frame. Ground down the top of the pumpkin. Oh and installed the longer PB trailing arms.

I tried to open the doors on mine and start it, but the ice is still too thick to get in, so I watched the icicles grow throughout the day.
